Reindeer

Definitely; they are herded and used in Northern Siberia, in Russia.

They are endangered because they live near the ocean and are running out of food.

They usually sleep between 8-10 days....they hibernate. They also sleep upside down because they say it helps them breath easily.

They walk On four legs, unless they are santa's magical reindeer, then they fly.

yes of course he is

A large deer of the arctic and northern regions of Eurasia and north America, having branched antlers in both sexes

== == The Rudolph tale was written by Robert L. May, a copywriter at the Montgomery Ward department store in 1939. However, he did not indicate what year Rudolph was supposedly born or when he joined the other 8.

They all are. Male reindeer lose their antlers in the fall, while female reindeer keep them until spring, after birthing time. since every picture of Santas reindeer at Christmas shows them with antlers? They are all female.

Well, I doubt that any real-life reindeer will be seen in a tutu, but I should think if it was in a child's story book or an animation, then it would be Dancer the Reindeer! =)

• In North, America reindeer are also called caribou.
• Both the males and females grow antlers.
• Their noses are specially designed to warm the air before it gets to their lungs.
• Reindeer hooves expand in summer when the ground is soft and shrink in winter when the ground is hard.
• Some subspecies have knees that make a clicking noise when they walk so the animals can stay together in a blizzard.
• Some North American caribou migrate over 3,000 miles in a year - more than any other land mammal.
• Though the thought of as a tundra species, a form of caribou lived in southern Idaho until the 19th century (there are ongoing efforts to re-establish them in the state).
• Northernmost species are much lighter in color than species at the southern end their range.
• Reindeer have been herded for centuries by several Arctic and Subarctic peoples.
• The name "reindeer" is of Norse origin (from the old Norse word "hreinn" for deer) and has nothing to do the reins of a sled. The name "caribou" comes to us through the French, from the Mi'kmag "qalipu," meaning "snow shoveler."
• Golden eagles are the leading predator of caribou calves in the late spring and fall.
• Once the entire body of a reindeer was found inside a Greenland shark (most likely a case of near-shore scavenging, as opposed to a migrating land shark).
• 13.) A measure of measure, reindeer are pretty awesome creatures. They are also threatened by global warming, oil exploration, and other human-caused pressures. They will surely need our help and appreciation for many holiday seasons to come.

There wouldn't be any new reindeer if they didn't.

There are many reindeer in the north. In the traditional poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" ("The Night Before Christmas"), by Clement C. Moore, there are eight, and he gives them names. This was made up in 1823.

Reindeer, both wild and domestic are found across much of northern Russia. Major domestic herds (listed from west to east) include:

- Taimyr

- Lena-Olenek

- Yana-Indigirka

- Sudrunskaya

- Chukotka

Smaller herds are found on the Kola peninsula, the island Novaya Zemlya, and the Kamchatka peninsula.

Wild reindeer generally live in Russia's boreal forest, but also overlap with domestic herds that reside on the tundra.

Reindeer do not live as far south as major cities such as Moscow. Generally, they live in undisturbed forest. In eastern Russia, they live almost as far south as the Russia-Mongolia border. They live all the way to the edge of the Arctic Ocean.

During the last ice age, the ancestors of reindeer crossed the Bering land bridge and evolved into North American caribou.

Reindeer do not like to swim. Look at birds. They are accustomed to flying, so water is obviously to be avoided, unless they are consuming it. Birds never swim because, for many species of birds (with the exception of avian species), swimming poses a great risk as birds are not naturally adapted to swim. This is congruent to the condition of reindeer. The key idea here: All species are risk adverse.

However, given special circumstances, reindeer will venture into water. For example, if a reindeer is being pursued by wolves, the reindeer will find its way into a stream in order discourage the wolves from attacking.
